                <TextBlock Style="{StaticResource AboutInfo}">This kiosk is brought to you by the Enlight Fountain Control Group student organization, the group responsible for the upkeep of the Maquina fountain. The fountain has always had some cool things it could do; we decided it was time to show it off!</TextBlock>

                <TextBlock Style="{StaticResource AboutTitle}">How does this all work?</TextBlock>
                <TextBlock Style="{StaticResource AboutInfo}">The kiosk in front of you is simply a computer running Microsoft Windows 7, hidden in the black box by your feet. In the spring, summer, and fall it runs some special software we wrote in C-Sharp. When you press a button, a message is sent to a server running in the Engineering Centers Building. This server processes it into a lower-level form, and sends it to a National Instruments cRIO underneath the fountain. This cRIO sends compressed air up the fountain in plastic tubes. You can see these tubes if you look close! These plastic tubes finally switch the valves that you see on the fountain.</TextBlock>
                <TextBlock Style="{StaticResource AboutInfo}">In short, each press results in a message that must travel almost a half mile passing through three computers and hundreds of wires, but all happens in a few tenths of a second!</TextBlock>

                <TextBlock Style="{StaticResource AboutTitle}">This is really cool! How do I get involved?</TextBlock>
                <TextBlock Style="{StaticResource AboutInfo}">We'd love you to stop by and check out what we're up to! We want any software, hardware, or mechanical types. Check out our website at <Hyperlink>http://enlight.engr.wisc.edu/</Hyperlink> for more information.</TextBlock>
                <TextBlock Style="{StaticResource AboutInfo}">We have our meetings every Tuesday at 6pm in 1099 ECB! Come check us out!</TextBlock>
